The \Vcstener also remembers Custer and his brave band who were ambushed in the Little Big H orn country. The re seemed to be gene­ral satisfaction at the announcement o f the death of Sitting Bull and especially in the fact that he was riddled with bullets .

It is noteworthy also that in the recent up­rising many of the young Indians who were educatetl at the different colleges and of whom better things were expected put on the war paint with the rest and were as desperate as the wildest ~· ioux.

Twentr-fl,·c years ago the Indian cried: " \Voe to the white man." To-day the order is re\·crsed and the white man cries: "\ ·oe to the Indian if he will not behave or go to work ."

But their days are fast being numbered. Like the buffalo and th e wild gras. c. of the plains he is fading away, and it is hard to real­ize how fast he is becoming e x tinct.

Two great force· are at work on the Red man. 1. Confinement and limitation are telling upon

him. Their in.l.ctivity is fast destroying their vitality. Ancient Rome used to kill the galley slaves in a couple of years by over exercise: but Uncle Sam has a way of his own to kill off the Indian just about as effectually. He pets them to death. They ha\·e nothing to do but to sleep and cat. This would kill any people. They are pining away and dying. The zest with which they entered the messiah craze which held out a hope of I ibcrty. and a ueauti­ful happy hunting ground, shO\\'S how they feel at heart. \Vhen at ·antee the ag-ent took me into a room full of m odern hospital appointments. I Ic told me that the mortality among the full bloods owing to consumption is something fearful. Their courage is failing and they do no t seem to care whether they li,·e or die.

2. : \nothcr force is the infusi.on of white blood which is fast s uperseding the Indian blood. The latter is not so strong as the N e­gro blood which tells for many generations. The gcnc1·al at the agency pointed out to me a half breed squaw. ~ he had reel hair inclined to be curly, was freckled. had a pug nose, and the typical one and a half inch Irish upper lip. 1 n the city she would have passed for an aver­age servant girl.

Another half breed was pointed ou t to me whose light blue eyes and Aaxen beard might have been raised in ~ ch Leswig- Holstein . There seems to be a strong desire on the part of the squaws to ha\·c as white children as pos~ible.

and the extent to which this infusion of white blood has already been carried is imply aston­ishing.

\\'hile this \\'Ould seem to be a ray of hope for the continuance of the race, it really helps to wipe it out; and after a few more generations it will be as difficult to find a full blood Indian as it will be to find a fu ll blood buffalo, while the Indian type will entirely disappear. He is nearly gone: and after he is gone no one will be over anxious to trace his pedigree back to the Red skins. S. J. H.

Lessons by the Wayside.

One of the most interesting features of tnod­ern Italy is the Appian \Vay lined on both sides hy the tomb of tho c actor~ who have long since retired from life's stage. This fa­mous road, now more than two thousand years old. wa~ immortalized . by the gifted pen of Horace. It has a most interesting history. The road itself is a striking illustration of the fact that it is worth while to do a thing well. \:Vhat a Aood of thoughts must come to the mind of the intelligent traveler as his feet strike the pavement of this road which leads so far back into the early history of Rome! Every crumbling monument and every hapeless tomb speaks with the far-reaching voice of the grave. Here the watchful eye of i ntell i­gence reads the lessons which are strewn in al­n1ost endless profusion along this way leading through a country so glorious in its death.

But the Appian road is not the only way full of historic interest. E\·en· individual has paved for himself a road along the sides of which are found the monuments of past deeds. Here lie buried dreams not realized, hopes unfulfilled,­record- imperishable. This road will be of in­terest to the individual long after the splendor of Rome shall have been forgotten. Interest­ing and important as the above mentioned roads may be to the nation and the individual, the world itse lf has made a road still broader and still richer in its lessons for us. tanding, as we do, at one end of this way, what a long vista stretches out before us! The splendors of Babylon, the wealth of Persia, the mysteries of Egypt. the intellect of Greece, and the power of Rome are all represented here. The tombs of the world's great ones and the graves of em­pires are placed ide by side. orne of the lessons which they would teach us have once been dark. but as time rolls on they becume
